Prospective LCA methodology for Novel and Emerging Technologies for BIO-based products - The PLANET BIO project
To make the transition to a more sustainable bio-based economy, new technologies and products will have to be developed. Nevertheless, it is essential to ensure- at an early stage of development- that emerging technologies and products present a genuine decrease of environmental burdens to guide investment and technology deployment towards a sustainable economy. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology that is well suited to assess the environmental performance of technologies. Prospective LCA is a type of LCA, which is forward-looking in nature, namely which specifically looks at the future environmental impacts related to technologies and their products. The Prospective LCA for Novel and Emerging Technologies for BIO-based products (PLANET BIO) JRC project assessed the state-of-the-art for a selection of relevant topics towards developing a prospective LCA methodology to tackle the challenges arising when dealing with emerging bio-based products (BbP).
